Bethlehem police investigator Larry C. Corrow was promoted to sergeant and Joseph Kimock was sworn in as a new member of the department by Bethlehem Mayor Paul Marcincin recently.

Corrow, 45, is a 22-year veteran of the department and spent the past 10 years as an investigator in Baker Team. He will remain with Baker Team as a shift sergeant.

He is a graduate of Liberty High School and served three years in the Army.

Kimock, 25, of Bethlehem is a graduate of Liberty High School and received his degree in criminal justice from Kutztown University during recent commencement ceremonies.

Kimock was issued Badge No. 212 and will be assigned to Baker Team.

Kimock and his wife, Kelly, are the parents of a 6-month-old son, Joseph Jr.

Corrow replaces Sgt. Michael Murphy, a 25-year veteran of the department, who retired May 7. Murphy had been a communications sergeant since September 1983.
